January 28, Elijah Wood celebrates his 44th birthday. The actor will forever be remembered as Frodo from the iconic Lord of the Rings trilogy, who carried the One Ring to Mount Doom. But his talent goes far beyond Middle-Earth. In honor of his birthday, let's revisit some of his best and most iconic roles.
Of course, we begin with Frodo Baggins — the protagonist of Peter Jackson's epic. His journey was filled with temptations and inner struggles, and Elijah's performance gave us one of the most relatable and human heroes in cinema.
Equally striking and dark was his portrayal of Kevin in Sin City. A silent, eerie cannibal with an angelic face, he became one of the most sinister characters in the film. In Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Wood proved his versatility by playing Patrick, a character who uses erased memories to manipulate love.
Elijah Wood is an actor who isn’t afraid to take risks when choosing roles. He explores various genres, from blockbusters to arthouse films, and always brings authenticity to his performances. Happy birthday, Elijah!
